Outlook

Abstract

Creativity, courage, luck, and resources are the ingredients that give birth to innovation in the inseminating and nourishing fields of tension that require change in a very pragmatic way. In these areas of tension one is somehow positioned somewhere, i.e., in each area one has settled oneself somewhere between the extremes - there is no choice. The positions themselves are not digital, but analog, there is no “either or” but an “as well as”. How and where one positions oneself in these areas of tension is ultimately the result of leadership, both of one’s own and of that of the organization. Nevertheless, what can be said with certainty: The hope that there are positions in these areas of tension, which - at least for a certain time - allow an equilibrium of constant comfort, can safely be given up. Even if such an equilibrium should exist, what can be doubted, one will always be located away from it. That is the essence of complex dynamic ecosystems.
